RESILIENT
an ICITECH Research Group
We are a research group of the Universitat Politècnica de València working in the field of structural engineering and construction. Our research aims to improve the resilience of buildings and bridges, for which we mainly work in two areas: structural assessment and progressive collapse and structural robustness.
Our ERC Consolidator Grant
Endure aims to develop a novel fuse-based segmentation design approach to arrest the propagation of failures in building structures.
Our PROMETEO Grant
Enhance aims to develop a novel approach for retrofitting existing buildings based on hanging floors from the roof to ensure they comply with the latest structural robustness requirements.
